who makes std. diam. high lift springs?

Who makes standard diameter (1.25") valve springs for lift over .490"? Summit has some for up to .490" but the LT4 HOT is .492" and I don't want to mill the seats for a wider spring.

Or can I use a wider spring without milling?

Thanks.

Will the LT-1/Z-28 springs fit an L98? They're the same diameter but I'm not sure about the height.

Are they just stock LT-1 springs that I can get from the dealer or are those aftermarket springs for LT-1 not available from dealer?

they all should interchange

make sure your retainer to guide/seal clearance is good enough.
